Not many know how great those reissue V4Bs sound for guitar, I tried out one of them at a Guitar Center and was really impressed with the master volume, nice for nailing the tone the Stones had live in '69 - '75.
Back in '88 I was playing an SVT head thru a tall 8x10 cab, not even loud, but the giant under pinning low frequencies made a very heavy lamp vibrate off of a table. Needless to say, the army barracks were not very soundproof with the cynder-block walls, and people on the next floor below me were complaining to Top.
I’ve played both the reissue and the 70s model and as much as the new one has the modern conveniences it definitely doesn’t have the same growl as the original.
Yea. I mainly play bass and I’ve got a V4BH so I tested it with a Les Paul playing through an acapulco gold. Getting quite good sounds however I was playing through my own built SVT 212AV. Gonna try it with a load attenuator to DI with a guitar cab IR at some point.
What overdrive pedal did you use?Sounds fucking heavy ! Btw tell me if you kept playing guitar through that amp ever since you uploaded this video and the amp didn't damage or anything right?
The pedal is an S&K VHD. Regarding amp damage. Extreme distortion or treble might damage a cab tweeter, and extreme low end (sub octave from bass+pog) might damage speakers if the amp cant handle the output. But for "normal" use, both guitar and bass-guitar works with guitar and bass amps.

watching this on our new tv which has rad sound! can't believe how good this amp sounds with guitar!
one sick new amp! all my old V4 and Model T and all else are on the shelf for awhile I think.
Forget playing this cranked at home... when I play thru my V4b every fixture in the house rattles.
just buy a load attenuator!

How it could ? The V4 70's doesn't use 6L6...
God, that sounds so good!!!!
i've been looking at these, although they're the same price as an old V4
Around 6:25 do you have a slight boost on mids at 800 Hz? ultra high on?
I'm not sure now, it was just vhd pedal into it though

oh man.. you gotta tune that thing....
No
how it sounds compared to model t?
Does great with pedals just like the T. Definitely more HiFi than a T. I'd buy it again.
Do you recall what the dirt pedal was?
S&K VHD pedal
@@BearAmps damn sounds awesome together! Thanks!
how does it take pedals?
Really well, that's a distortion pedal being used in this clip

Is this 100 watt or 300 watt?
V4 models are only 100watt. The rare V9 was the 300watt version. V2 and VT40 are 60watt versions
BearAmps I realized a day after I asked haha. These re issues seem like a really great amp. I’m strongly considering getting one! Great video!
